When trying to build build-couchdb with rake inside a folder-structure containing whitespaces (e.g.: /home/mat/studium/ws11-12/pst/bug test/build-couchdb ) rake aborts with the following output:

[10:41] mat@matux:~/studium/ws11-12/pst/bug test/build-couchdb (master)$ rake
(in /home/mat/studium/ws11-12/pst/bug test/build-couchdb)
mkdir -p /home/mat/studium/ws11-12/pst/bug test/build-couchdb/build/bin
/home/mat/studium/ws11-12/pst/bug test/build-couchdb/dependencies/autoconf-2.59/configure --prefix=/home/mat/studium/ws11-12/pst/bug test/build-couchdb/build --program-suffix=2.59
== Output of config.log ==
cat config.log
cat: config.log: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
rake aborted!
Command failed with status (1): [cat config.log...]

(See full trace by running task with --trace)

When removing the whitespace from the everything works again. Seems a little error when using mkdir. Rake tries to create two folders without enclosing quotation-marks. There might be some more issues like that inside the script. Happened on both Ubuntu 10.04 x586 and a Mac OSX Snow Leopard.

Nonetheless: Thanks for this great project.
It really rocks!
